LITTLE BREECHEs did himself up in
his Wheeling speech at the Grand Army
celebration there the other day. He
imagined that the rebel flsgs were ali
tneLs and went Off In his usual TRADE,
OF Grover Cleveland, bloody shirt and

al his own way. Governor Wilson, of
West Virginia, was there to reply to the
Idle vapOrings Of Ohio's Governor,
which he did rs follows:
FROM what you have heard here one

70 life and was threatening this city
with great army, and that Governor

can tell Governor Foraker that he is
not acquainted with West Virginia
politics. BE talks about the balloteb0x.
aOVernor Foraker does not know shat
thousands OF Democrats were disfran-
chised BY the Republican party In this
state, and that by that diBfFAnchisement
the Republicans controlled the State.
Has the Republican party forRotten
the fraud Of 1875? Has it FORGOT
ten the men IL sent South 90 steal The
electoral votes Of three HtetesP Has It
forgotten ElizR PlnkstOn? When 1t has
forgotten these things then 1t will be
time to talk. Governor Foraker is the

tell him that no President or Vice Pres

about the Stars and Stripes, Thank
GodI there are thirty.eight stars on that
tlag-0ne for each State.-and the one
that represents South Carolina burns as
brightly as the one that represents Ohio.
Now, In conclusion / might say, If you
men Of the Grand Army Of the Republic
think you can stand such scenes and
demonstratlons as have occurred this
evening, the Democrats OF this State
can stand them."

Lame Horses.

If your horse happens to get lame don't go
and put on some strong liniment or balsam
which is liable to remove the hair, but first
find out precisely where the injury is located,
what it is and what the probable cause is or
was. Then go to Saur's Drug and Medicine
Depot and you can often procure remedies
which will at once relieve the pain and soon
give permanent cure withou leaving scar
or blemish, which is worse than the disease.
1t is always the best plan to first find out what
the trouble is. Many horse is doctored to
death that would have got we'll without the
use of any medicine. Many dollars worth
of liniment is rubbed on the. shoulder when
the trouble is in the foot, and then because
the liniment does not cure him it is pro-
nounced worthless and the druggist censured
for recommending it in order to make 10 or
15 cents. ..., ......

Do not all Comply.

There is a law in this State requiring in
surance companies incorporated in other
States doing business in Ohio to annually
publish in each county where they are doing
business a statement showing the financial
condition of the company. 1t is fact that
all companies do not comply with the law,
and it is almost impossible to detect the
omissions under the present law. The law
should be so amended as to require compa-
nies to file with the county auditor notice
of the fact that they are doing business in
the county, and also file with such officer the
proof that they have made disqualification as
required by law, and such publication should
be required to be made during the first month
in which such company begins to do business
in the county.

J. G. Emery, of Ridgeville Corners, former
ly of Wauseon, was in town Wednesday last.
He states that Ridgeville township will vote
on the question of raising tax to grade the
highway extending from Bustleman's Cor
ners to one mile west Of Ridgeville. If this
project is completed it will have marked ef-
feet on the trade of Wauseon, as Napoleon
township has graveled road which will meet
the Ridgeville road, and thus the citizens Of
that vicinity will have graveled road direct
to Napoleon. - Wduseon Republican,.

An effort is being made to raise money to
further prospect for oil and gas inNapoleon.
A stock book has been opened and already
quite a sum has been subscribed, but notsuf
fcient to go on with the work. Every bust
ness man in Napoleon should subscribe his
name to the object and assist in determining
whether we have gas or oil under our soil. If
prospecting will show that we have, then the
amount that they expended will be returned
to them ten fold, and if not, then they are
conscious of having performed their full
duty. Subscribe your name and means to
the project and let the good work go forward.

Mcclure VIII Bore for Oil.

MCCIufe VIII bore 1Or OII.
We take the following correspondence
from the Bee of Monday:
MCCLURE, Feb 21.-Our citizens and
farmers of the adjacent territory held meet
ing Saturday night in Durbin's hall to deter
mine what steps should be taken toward
developing the great oil belt of which Nc
Clure is the center. 1t was decided to hold a
meeting next Saturday evening and hear
from some of the representatives of the diff
ferent oil companies who have been prospect
ing. The farmers are jubilant over the
prospects and but little work will be neces-
sary to lease plenty of land. The company
that is successful in obtaining the lease will
have bonanza, as the following will indi-
cate:
Some time ago David Foltz, whose farm
adioins Mcclure on the east, dug we'll
about 25 feet deep, getting good supply of
water, but there came on the surface of the
water scum of oil about three inches thick.
This was repe .tedly dipped off, thinking it
the work of some crank, but to Mr.. Foltz's
surprise it returned as before.
Mr.. Wilcox, living east OF town, had to
abandon the farm on which he lived because
he could not obtain a water supply for house
use.
Mcclure is in straight line between
Findlay and Bryan, and with these prospects
there is no risk.
At this writing the citizens are making
preparations to form stock company and
lease 6,OO0 or 5000 acres of the adjacent
territory and go to work at once. This will
be done if no foreign companies take hold of
the work before next Saturday evening.

A new and pretty swindle is thus explained:
A customer comes in, makes ten cent pur-
chase and throws down a dollar. The change
is given him-half dollar, quarter, dime
and a nickel. He carelessly picks up the
quarter and dime, and perhaps the nickel,
then returning the dime and substituting
three cent piece for it, he throws down the
pieces and says: "This isn't dime" The
shopkeeper, thinking he has taken in and
paid out the three cent piece by mistake,
gives another dime to the sharper, who thus
makes II, or some cents besides his purchase.
Another plan is to have a two cent piece
quick silvered, and throw it back, instead of
quarter retained. The shopkeeper wonders
when he took that thing in, and gives quar-
ter to the rascal, who thus makes 48 cents.

The entertainment given by the Boston
Star Co. on last Wednesday evening high
ly enjoyed by large audience. 1t was with
out doubt the finest entertainment we have
had in Napoleon for many day, and we hope
it may be the means Of giving us many more
first-class entertainments. The proprietors
of the Rink Opera House deserve the thanks
of all citizens for bringing such troupe to
Napoleon, and it is hoped that they will get
more such companies to visit our city.

but pictures and picture frames we arc going

Manufacturers of kerosene oil say that al
lamps are safe with good oil. and that the
quality of oil can be ascertained by the fol
lowing tests Take pint lineup, fill it nearly
full of water warmed SO that an ordinary
thermometer immersed in it will show 12(
degrees, pour small quantity of oil on the
water, stir it little, then pass a lighted
match quickly but closely over the surface OF
the oil once; if it ignites the oil is unsafe. II
